Potty Ready

We are contemplating starting to potty train Eme. I am pretty sure she is ready. The other day she had a mild diaper rash and I let her run around with just bloomers on to let her hiney air out. She came right to me when she wet the bloomers and was pulling at them like EEEWWW get these off me.

She also watches intently as Steve or I use the restroom. I always tell her "Shhhh, listen for the peepee to go in the potty." And of course she listens.

So we will soon be starting our potty training journey. My mom said that I was potty trained at 13 months so why cant she be potty trained at 14 months?

Addicted

Steve mentions more than once a week that I have an addiction to the computer. I personally am beginning to wonder if I am. I do enjoy surfing the internet and can get completely lost in Facebook, but I can honestly say that I do not sit on the computer while my children are trying to burn down the house and I can go a whole day without turning on the computer. A whole day!
So this evening as I was logging onto Facebook and saw someone post that Johnny Depp had died...oh no worries, this isnt true. As I was saying, as I logged onto Facebook Steve stepped in behind me and went to the tool bar. He clicked on something called Page Addict which pulled a window up that had counted how long I have been on the internet and for how long on each site. Are you kidding me? He said he had just set it up today just to show me in the future how long I spent on the computer in one week. He couldnt keep it from me and had to go ahead and show me. I was shocked and could not believe a site such as this even existed. I was however pleased to see that this evening was my first log in to Facebook and only for 2 minutes.
We will see how this page addict thing goes.

Warm Up Woohoo!

It has finally warmed up from our little cold snap. I didnt think Florida would ever see the snow again. But here we are on day 2 of over 70 degree weather and I could not be happier. I seriously couldnt handle living up north where you are snowed in your home. It put me in such a funk to not be able to leave for the week. I was lucky to have Steve taking Trevor to school so I didnt have to get Emelyn out in the cold and frost.
I do have to admit that I was not aware how used to the climate the plants, animals and people are in Florida. Every yard has brown grass and trees are bare. Iguanas in south Florida were falling out of tree because they were going into hibernation mode. The manatees were all trying to find the warmest water which led to baby manatees being seperated from their mommas and manatees huddling in to canals for warmth. Logerhead turtles were found on the beach with their body temperatures seriously low and Sea World was at capacity for animals. I never looked at Sea World as a place that would put up a No Vacancy sign, but I guess that is what happens when it gets cold for too long. Needless to say, Florida hit record lows and we saw some temperatures that were super low. It was nice for 2 weeks, but let me tell you, I am so relieved it is over.

Happy New Year

2010 has arrived and I sit here and wonder where 2009 went. People tell me that time seems to go quicker when you have 2 children. I didnt think that was true and now a year has gone by and I cant believe it.

This New Year I hadnt even given my New Year's resolution a thought. Since past New Year's resolutions havent worked out so well, I have decided to do things my own way this year. I am not telling anyone what my New Year's resolution is. I am going to keep it to myself as a personal goal. If I come thru on it great and if I dont, well I will just file this one away with all the other failed resolutions, but this time no one knows I failed.
